Really really enjoyed our tour with Tour Radar, they were so communicative responding in less than 24hrs. We felt completely well served and the tour was exceptional, with pickups at hotels and very flexible. Our guide was a complete star, he had so many information and was helpful throughout. Thank you Ronan for helping us fall in love with Peru. Highly recommend using Tour radar from a first time user.
